Understanding Acne: Types, Causes, and Treatments

Types of Acne Acne manifests in various forms, each requiring a tailored approach for effective treatment:

  • Small Pimples: Often less severe but can be persistent.
  • Large Pimples: More painful and noticeable.
  • Cystic Acne: Deep, painful lesions that can cause scarring.
  • Nodular Acne: Hard, inflamed bumps under the skin.

Common Causes of Acne Acne can arise from several factors, often combining to exacerbate the condition:

  • Teenage Hormonal Changes: Adolescence often triggers increased oil production and acne.
  • Dandruff: Can contribute to acne flare-ups, especially around the hairline.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in hormones, such as during menstruation or pregnancy.
  • Diet: Certain foods can trigger or worsen acne.
  • Stress and Lifestyle: High stress levels and poor lifestyle choices can impact skin health.
  • Wrong Skincare Products: Products that clog pores or irritate the skin can lead to acne.

Managing Acne and Its Effects Acne, particularly on oily or acne-prone skin, can persist into adulthood, causing lasting marks and scars. Addressing acne early is crucial to preventing long-term issues and boosting confidence. Treatment typically involves:

  • Medications: To control infection, reduce excess oil, and address hormonal imbalances.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Diet, hygiene, and stress management can help in controlling some types of acne.
  • Advanced Treatments: Chemical peels and laser therapies can accelerate healing and reduce reliance on medications.

Treatment Plan

  • Initial Medication: To manage active acne and reduce severity.
  • Follow-Up Treatments: Chemical peels, light therapies, and lasers to improve skin texture and reduce scars.

WHAT IS ACNE PRONE/ OILY SKIN?

Do you feel the need to wash or wipe your face repeatedly?
Do you notice that nose, forehead, cheeks look shinier as if they have a film of oil on them?
Do you notice red, or white, painful or painless bumps appearing every now and then on your face, back or arms?
Do you feel your scalp and hair becomes greasy and needs to be washed more than twice a week?
Then you have an oily / acne prone skin.

WHY MUST YOU TREAT YOUR OILY SKIN?

Everybody goes through a phase during their teenage years where they notice acne/ pimples. People with oily/ acne prone skin notice that these do not resolve with time and may extend into their twenties or even thirties.
Such pimples/ acne leave behind marks and scars which may take much longer to treat.
Acne marks and scars have a detrimental effect on your confidence in daily life.
To combat this problem at its earliest stage is why acne must be treated and oily skin must be managed at the earliest.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT WAYS OF TREATING/ MANAGING ACNE PRONE/ OILY SKIN?

Acne when in its active stage needs to be managed with medication which will help in controlling the ongoing infection, excess oil production and stabilize any hormonal imbalance.
Chemical peels and LASERS maybe added to your treatment plan to achieve faster results and to reduce your burden of having to consume tablets and apply medications for a long period of time.
After an initial course of medications to curb the ongoing infection and severity of acne you may be transferred onto a treatment plan consisting of chemical peels, light therapies and LASERS.
